here to talk about the worst team in the NBA
@samvecenie.bsky.social Hi Sam! On the game theory pod last night you guys talked a lot about how Portland has the power to get whoever they want with MIL's picks. Why wouldn't they try to get Giannis themselves? They even have Jrue (and Dame lol) if Giannis still wants to play with him.

@samvecenie.bsky.social just a friendly suggestion for your rookie rankings - Kyshawn George has been playing really well the last few weeks. Thanks!

Hi @keithsmithnba.bsky.social! I was looking up the details for Richaun Holmes' $250k gtd contract next season and noticed that the deadline for that is 1/10/26. Does this mean he can play for a team through 1/10/26 for only $250k and then get waived? Feels like that would break minimum rules. tx!

I’ll never forget the last time I saw Wemby play;
it just just after Mr. Beast made a kid eat 1,000 dollar bills to win college tuition,
& just before Kevin Hart would stop the game for a 20 minute tribute to a show that is changing channels.

San Antonio Spurs All-Star Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss reminder of the season with a deep vein thrombosis in right shoulder.

Hi @keithsmithnba.bsky.social ! I know 2nd apron teams can aggregate players in a trade as long as they dip under the 2nd apron after the trade - but what if they fall short of the 13-player minimum roster? Are they allowed to go sign min player(s) that put them back over the 2nd apron?

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

@keithsmithnba.bsky.social friendly suggestion for the trade machine app. when in the middle of playing with a trade it would help me personally if there was a confirmation to exit and reset the trade after tapping the back button. accidentally erased my trade a couple times.

@keithsmithnba.bsky.social I was playing around with Jamal Murray trades on spotrac which seems to be allowed, but i have been told by others that he can't be traded until after the trade deadline due to signing his extension in september. Can you help me understand which is accurate? Thanks!

@samvecenie.bsky.social looks like Murray does not have trade restrictions after his extension? This was successful with all the restrictions on in the spotrac trade machine.

I thought the wizards figured this out in preseason, but they should start Sarr at center in the 2nd half. If they are short on forwards start Gill at 4.

@Keithsmithnba.bsky.social I just noticed that (I think) the Front Office pod is the only piece of sports media I listen to that does not have gambling ads. Is that a conscious decision on your and Trevor’s part? Either way, it’s nice to not be bombarded with it at least somewhere.

Agreed, point differential is a pretty clear exception to goodhart’s law.
The measure becomes the target is Goodharts Law. So you are saying that if teams start playing to maximize point differential, point differential will be less meaningful?
I'm not following that, wouldn't it be more predictive if both sides are motivated to increase their differential.
